At the heart of the Flynn v. McGraw Hill case is a breach of contract claim. The plaintiffs argue that McGraw Hill’s royalty deductions for maintaining its online system violated the terms of the agreement. Central to the argument is the publisher’s promise to ‘publish at its own expense.’ This case serves as a prime example of how important it is to scrutinize the details of a publishing agreement, where the devil often lies.

For years, most network-attached storage (NAS) devices were basically purpose-built computers designed to let you hook a large hard drive (or array of multiple drives) to your network to function as a media and file server, backup solution, and more. But these days you can find a growing number of NAS systems that don’t support […]

It’s a pretty modest update when it comes to hardware, which probably helps explain why it’s already on sale for $55 during […]
